Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A Catholic priest who has fought to suppress his homosexual impulses falls under the spell of a troubled teen in this sensitive drama from director Malgorzata Szumowska. Adam (Andrzej Chyra) entered the priesthood at 21. He's dedicated his life to helping teens with behavioral problems, and has embraced a life of celibacy in an effort to combat his feelings for the same sex. Adam's closely guarded secret threatens to become public knowledge, however, when he befriends a misfit adolescent named Lukasz (Mateusz Kosciukiewicz), who stirs feelings deep within Adam that are far too powerful to deny.
